Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue. Sector-distribution context coming next.

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Foundation has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future for the period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Having launched its new youth empowerment strategy, the Foundation will pilot the new strategy in South Africa and Peru before scaling up more broadly across its global footprint.”
- “After the end of the year, a new funding model was agreed with Anglo American plc, whereby continued funding would be based on average operating cash flows of the AA plc Group, commencing in 2025. After the year end, the Trustees determined that certain grants that were previously committed by Anglo American Foundation Fund Trust would be funded by Anglo American Foundation in 2025. The total value of the approved grants was £349,000.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
